The reverse of the “Professional Life” one-cent coin-the third in the series-depicts Abraham Lincoln as a young professional standing in front of the state capitol building in Springfield, Ill. Inscriptions on the reverse include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and ONE CENT. The reverse was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Master Designer Joel Iskowitz and executed by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart. The “Professional Life” two-roll sets will be available on August 13, 2009.

The reverse of the “Presidency” one-cent coin-the fourth and final in the series-features an image of the half-finished United States Capitol dome. The design symbolizes a Nation torn apart by the Civil War and the resolve Lincoln showed as he guided the country through its most grave crisis. The coin’s reverse was designed by United States Mint AIP Master Designer Susan Gamble and executed by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna. The “Presidency” two-roll sets will be available in November.
